Demonstrate your knowledge of 2D Design software and the laser cutter by creating a third laser cutter piece. You will also be expected to integrate a new element that fits into your design. The new element would be a clock gear mechanism kit, a 9volt LED circuit with a switch or a pendant lamp socket.
The best way to start the design process is to see what others have done before.
I would suggest using the following keywords in some google searches with A + B.
A(Laser Cut, DIY, Make, Design) + B (Clock, Lamp, pendant, light)
Complete the assignment by capturing some images online and generating 12 thumbnail sketches that will be submitted for completion.
